**Air India Announces Further Flight Reductions Amid Operational Concerns**
**New Delhi, June 22, 2025** – Air India announced today that it will be temporarily reducing its narrow-body flight network by less than 5%, impacting both domestic and regional international routes. This follows an earlier announcement of a 15% reduction in international wide-body flights, marking a period of significant adjustments for the Tata Group-owned carrier.
Effective immediately and lasting until at least July 15, 2025, the changes include the suspension of flights on three routes: Bengaluru-Singapore, Pune-Singapore, and Mumbai-Bagdogra (AI551/552). Additionally, the airline will be reducing the frequency of flights on 19 other routes, including key domestic corridors like Delhi-Bengaluru and Delhi-Mumbai. A total of 118 weekly flights operated with narrow-body planes on 19 routes will be impacted.
In a statement, Air India attributed the reductions to efforts to strengthen network-wide operational stability and minimize last-minute disruptions for passengers. The airline is framing the changes as a voluntary measure aimed at improving service reliability during a period of operational adjustments.
Passengers are advised to check the status of their flights and contact Air India directly for any necessary rebooking or inquiries.
